Ophelia Mayfae, Duchess of Mayfae

Ophelia Mayfae, Duchess of Mayfae (24 May 1819 – 24 May 1992) was the first daughter and eldest child of Mikasa, Duchess of Mayfae and Eren, Duke of Mayfae. Ophelia was the first of Mikasa`s children to die, 79 years after the first, the eldest of her younger siblings, Georgie. Ophelia`s childhood was largely undisturbed by outward presence, her parents (even before their marriage) maintained a cold and bitter relationship having been forced to marry by their incredibly controlling parents; the young Ophelia was often doted upon by their controlling parents which made them resent and neglect their eldest child even more. This made Ophelia run to their arms to seek comfort; eventually their parents deemed them unfit to raise any of their children and banished them from the Empire completely, stripping them of all of their titles and granting them to Ophelia. As her younger siblings married and left their grandparents, their grandparents came to rely on Ophelia, whom they started called "Sophie" for most of her childhood. Forced to grow up from a young age, Ophelia, became a incredibly cold, calculating, and money-savvy person. She was so incredibly skilled at her chosen occupations that she rarely-if-ever had any time to spend with her family (and she either spent it with her controlling grandparents, or with her younger siblings); she considered romance and finding herself a husband a "chore", as well as completely beneath her. Due to her wealth, she had no need for a husband; for many years she lived a quiet life without a husband.

Ophelia fell in love with her sixth cousin (Robert Mayfae), the son of her distant uncle (Ludwig Mayfae) and his wife (Therese Salomea Mayfae) and brother-in-law of her niece (Victoria, Duchess of Salomea). Due to their distant blood-ties they were allowed to marry on 23 July 1829. The Duke and Duchess had twenty-four children, but a few years into their marriage, on 20 January 1834, Robert fell ill. He soon recovered, but was plagued by health problems for the remainder of his life. She died at 201, outliving her parents, all of her grandparents, two of her children, and several nieces and nephews including Henry V and Flora II.

Early life
Ophelia was born at Château des Chargues (the ancestral seat of the family) in the Dragoon Governate. She was the first daughter and eldest of the four children of the reigning Duchess of Mayfae (Mikasa), and her husband (Eren). Her mother, was reportably so upset at having a child and going through pregnancy that she wanted a divorce from her husband; her husband was happy when Ophelia was born, though he grew more unhappy with his wife when Mikasa started blaming Ophelia for being born. Her mother was later institutionalized
